5th bad steering gear

I have a 98 E350 and i use it for my work truck. it has 160,000 miles and is on its 5th steering gear from A1 CARDONE in the last 30,000 miles. i am going
to put a Motercraft in this week end. is this common from A1 CARDONE or am i getting all the bad ones?

I'm no expert on Cardone, but with that failure rate, something else has to be wrong. Even crap lasts longer than that.
